Attention Blues lovers! The Garfield Center for the Arts in Chestertown is honored to present guitarist & vocalist Coco Montoya on Friday, November 14 at 8 pm as part of the Chestertown Blues Series.
Known as, “the hottest southpaw in the blues,” Guitar One Magazine, this self-taught guitarist started out playing drums, but switched to guitar after meeting mentor Albert Collins, and spent ten years as guitarist with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Critics from publications including The Village Voice, Blues Revue, Philadelphia Daily News all rank him among the best guitarists and singers on the contemporary blues scene. Montoya’s passionate, soulful vocals as well as his, “icy hot,” style of playing result in intense live shows, with his non-stop touring honing his performances. The Garfield Center show is sure to be no exception.
The Chestertown Blues Series is sponsored by the Eastern Shore Blues Society. The sixth show in the 2014 series features Chicago Blues style musicians Shawn Holt and the Teardrops, with Kent County’s own Blues-Keepers band opening on Friday, December 12.
Tickets for all shows are available on line at www.GarfieldCenter.org or by calling the box office at 410 810 2060.
